At Second Chances

we have uncovered the
proverbial fountain of youth.

Taelon and human scientists
have created a procedure

that will make you young again.

Now, you really can
have a second chance.

I understand this commercial
will start broadcasting today.

The advertising campaign should
prove to be very effective.

If the Taelon technology works.

The test results from
the last three months

were thoroughly reviewed by your
technical team technique, Mr. Fields,

and they found no
flaws in the technology.

We always test our products
for a minimum of a year.

We only agreed to the
shorter testing period

based on your assurances that
the technology would be ready.

Then what is the issue?

Both your technicians
and ours have confirmed

that the technology is ready.

Recent tests may
have been successful,

but if we have a recurrence
of the problems that plagued us

at the beginning of this project,

they can kiss this
entire company goodbye.

Hold it!

Don't move!

Take it easy.

What have they done to me?

Calm down.

We don't want to hurt you,
everything will be okay.

I don't want to live
like this anymore.

No one's gonna hurt you.

Take it easy.

- Don't make me stun you.
- You'll have to kill me!

He's dead.

They are the Companions.

Aliens come to Earth
on a mission of peace.

Their true mission,

the secrets they hide,
forever alter humanity.

Caught in the struggle
between these Taelon Companions

and the Human Resistance
is Liam Kincaid.

A man who is more than human.

The mysteries of his past
hold the key to Earth's future

and the fate of mankind.

On Earth Final Conflict.

Hey!

Come over here
and check this out.

What?

You know anything
about Second Chances?

Oh, yeah, yeah. My broker told
me about this company.

They claim their procedure
repairs damaged cells

and restores you to your
optimal genetic potential,

usually around the
age of 25 or so.

You're telling me this
procedure makes young again?

No, that's what
they're telling you.

They were scheduled to go public
right after the first experiments.

And it looks like they're ready.

Well, I haven't heard a
word about this from Da'an.

Well, what do you know,

another project that Zo'or
"forgot" to tell Da'an about.

Well, these projects
Zo'or just keeps secret

if he has some hidden agenda.

We got to figure
out what that is.

Yeah, we better do it soon,
because once the public

buys into it, there'll
be no stopping it.

Do you know anything about
this company Second Chances?

No, but I've seen
the commercials.

Zo'or and Sandoval have been
in meetings with businesspeople

for the last couple of
days. Must be related.

No, we've got to get into this.

Look, Liam, I've got to go.

What's up?

No, I just, I have to go.
We'll talk later?

What the hell is
going on with Lili?

Maybe she has a date.
It's about time.

It's okay, it's Marquette.

Why are you in Washington, Haley?

We have a problem.

That doesn't explain to me
why you're in Washington.

Okay. Doors can't lead
lead the Resistance anymore.

He's too much of a public figure.

He's always been a public figure.

Even when he was underground.

Yes, but now he's got cameras
on him virtually 24 hours a day.

We need someone who
can move about freely.

If we don't act now,
we're gonna be nothing more

than a band of disconnected
Resistance cells.

We need a leader, Lili.

You worked more closely
with Doors than anyone else,

and everyone respects you.

Zo'or has shepherded the
Second Chances venture

completely on his own.

This is the first I
have heard about it.

We've got to figure
out what he's up to.

I'll see what I can find.

You can start with the
person that has been chosen

for the first transformation.

Where can I find him?

You won't have to. I've
requested a meeting with her.

- Agent Liam Kincaid.
- Pearl Bell, and this is...

Her son, Sam Bell.

This is Da'an,
the American Companion.

I don't know what to say...
How to thank you?

We never thought mom would
live to see our children grow up.

But now...

I've been very ill for
the last three years.

I am so sorry for your suffering.

The Second Chances people have
told me that their new process will

repair my cells.

I asked you here to make
certain that you understand

the risks involved
with this procedure.

What risks? I'm dying!

Have you considered the impact
on your son and his family

when you emerge from the
procedure as a 25-year old?

What about the impact of
having to attend her funeral?

We just want you to consider all of
the ramifications of this decision.

What is this?

Are you changing your
minds about mom?

This is the only way to
save her life, please!

Don't condemn her to die.

Were you always a big
supporter of the Taelons?

I don't mean to offend, but...

No, I never really had
much use for the... aliens.

Until now.

The Second Chances
people never asked

us how we felt
about the Taelons.

They said it didn't matter.

You can't get our
hopes up like this

and then just take it away.

You don't have the right!

Don't worry.

We're not gonna stop you.

Thank you.

And with us tonight on
the Barry Calvert show

presidential candidate,
Jonathan Doors.

Of course, the sales pitch for
Second Chances sounds irresistible.

Who wouldn't wanna
be 30 years younger?

Are you aware of
any specific problems

with the transformation
procedure?

No, how could I be? I mean, this

whole project has been
shrouded in secrecy.

But is there anyone
who still believes

that these gifts of the
Taelons come without a price?

Apparently some people do.

Or they are prepared to
pay whatever that price is.

That's because the Taelons
are very cleverly stacking

the emotional deck for these
initial transformations.

All recipients are elderly and ill.

And why is that a problem?

It's manipulative. It makes it
seem as if this technology had a...

a humanitarian purpose.

Many people believe
that's the case.

Then they should think again

before they play right into
the hands of the Taelons.

I mean, look at what
humanity is saying.

That we are prepared to pay
any price to extend our lives.

From what I understand,

the price for the procedure
will be only 6 figure range.

No, Barry, I'm not
talking about money.

I'm talking about the
value of the human soul.

Because that is what we are selling.

I demand an immediate
accounting of your activities

at Second Chances.

The Synod has not
made any such request.

I am a member of the Synod.

Consider this your request.

Then I suggest you
accompany me to the facility.

The first transformation will
take place in ten minutes.

It was not scheduled
until tomorrow.

The schedule was changed.

- By whom?
- By me.

But at the request of the family.

I believe you
alarmed them, Da'an.

Well, we're just now moments
away from much anticipated,

first ever public
transformation procedure

from Second Chances.

The groundbreaking joint venture
between humans and Taelons.

Some of these Second Chances
technicians just now are making

final preparations for
this historic procedure.

And also waiting with anticipation,
Pearl Bell's son, Sam Bell.

Wow, hey, Liam, look.

You know, I don't mind you
coming over once in a while,

but I know you have
your own place to go to.

I gave it to you.

It's time to find out Zo'or's
true agenda at Second Chances.

Yeah, the one thing can be sure.

We know that he's not doing it
for the benefit of human kind.

Check this out.

And tonight, of course, we're
discussing the event

that has stunned the world.

In layman's terms,
Ms. Bell's genetic parts

are being disassembled, scrubbed,

and then reassembled
into a sparkling new package.

Second Chances
representatives have told us

that within hours of the
broadcast of the first commercial

they have been flooded with
requests for the procedure.

And there's only one person who
can give us a firsthand account

of what it really feels
like to be transformed.

And transformed you
most certainly are.

Welcome to the show, Pearl.
You're absolutely stunning.

Thank you, Barry,
that's very kind.

Well, now where to begin?

How did you feel when you
first awoke in this new body?

I was scared, excited...

I'm still in a state of disbelief.

How are you gonna get
used to looking this way,

and feeling so young?

Well, these are problems I
look forward to dealing with.

I can imagine.

And I also imagine that you're
feeling pretty appreciative

of the Taelons at this moment.

Well, not just at this moment,

but ever since they
saved my son's life.

We, we did not know all
that. Tell me about it.

Sam was diagnosed with
severe heart arrhythmia.

A heart murmur?

Yes, but his was life-threatening.

One of the doctors at Sloan-Kettering
told us the only option

was an untested Taelon technique,

one that wasn't approved by the AMA.

And... And you agreed
to this procedure?

I would do anything to save my son.

But how did you get around
the whole AMA approval problem?

Well, the Taelon doctors
performed the surgery in secret.

The only ones there
were the Taelons.

And the one human doctor who
told us about the procedure.

This is an absolutely
incredible story!

Yes, well, the Taelons
are incredible.

Something's wrong.

Thanks for the update.

When I first interviewed Pearl,
she had no strong feelings

about the Taelons
one way or another.

Yeah.

Listen to her here.

And I also imagine that you're
feeling pretty appreciative

of the Taelons at this moment.

Well, not just at this moment,

but ever since they
saved my son's life.

Well, what do you expect
her to say about the Taelons?

I mean, they just gave her
40 years of her life back.

But she never mentioned to me
what the Taelons did for her son.

Well, not just at this moment...

So what? I mean, of
course, she's recalling it.

It happened over 3 years ago.

She didn’t react that way to any
other question. It's almost as if...

She's making it up
as she goes along.

We're out of time.

If these next procedures are
successful, there's no stopping Zo'or.

Time to figure out his plan is now.

I didn't recognize you
without your entourage.

What's this about?

We have concerns as to where
your run for the presidency

leaves the Resistance.

You see, as President
I will have more power

to affect change than
I did as a fugitive.

Not necessarily, look
at President Thompson.

- I'm not Thompson!
- No, I didn't mean that, Jonathan.

But if we're gonna win,

we need the kind of flexibility
that underground allows us.

Yes, and not all of us have your
faith in the American political system.

We also believe

that you're in this for the
presidency more for yourself.

I didn't come here
to be insulted!

It's not my purpose.

I speak for the North
American Resistance when I say:

All the best in your campaign!

But we're not willing to give
up the underground fight yet.

It's time to pick a
new leader, Jonathan.

Only when I decide to
step down, which I haven't.

We have already made that
decision, we are moving on.

Who do you think pays
for the Resistance?

Maybe we do need your money,

but we're not willing to
sacrifice leadership to get it.

It's you.

You wanna be the leader.

Nothing's been decided yet.

But I will do whatever is
best for the Resistance.

And now I would like
to introduce to you

a remarkable young woman
who, perhaps, best represents

the amazing work being
done here at Second Chances.

Ladies and gentlemen, our
very first transformation,

the youthful and the
beautiful, Pearl Bell.

Thank you, thank you very much.

This is pitiful.

Not one person here has
the guts to challenge this.

You just keep the cool,
we're only here to observe.

We are very excited to present
to you today our first group

that has just completed
the transformation process.

After the success
of my transformation,

this group was selected
to demonstrate

the effectiveness of the
procedure across the broad range

of races, ages, and sexes.

What's the matter
with you, people?

You want the Taelons remake you?!

And into what?
You don't even know!

How can you trust them?

You have no idea what
they're doing to your bodies,

and you're all
encouraging this to happen!

Are you all blind? You can't
just see what they're doing to us?

We're becoming toys
for the Taelons!

How dare you!

The Taelons saved my father!

Back to the point!

No one's gonna touch them!

No one!

- Let go of me!
- No one!

- The gun!
- Leave it, leave it, leave it!

Let me go!

You're all murderers!
The Taelons will kill you all!

Pearl, we're not gonna hurt you.

We just wanna see
what they did to you.

- Just let me go!
- Pearl, we can't! Calm down!

- Doc, come on, give her something.
- Alright, alright. Hold her.

Haley, we've got company.

Be careful with her,
I don't want her hurt.

- Where's Pearl?
- She's inside with the doctors.

She hasn't been harmed.

Who the hell are you?

Haley Simmons.

Is that supposed to
mean something to me?

She leads the Resistance
effort in Pacific Northwest.

Haley, what are you doing?

Look, the only way to
understand what the Taelons

are doing to these people
is to examine one of them.

I thought that was
kind of obvious.

I don't know how
things work out west,

but the Resistance
works together here.

Look, I'm not gonna sit
around and wait for you do

something about
Second Chances.

So you risk the lives
of a lot of innocent people?

Hey! I didn't plan to kidnap Pearl.

I had no idea that guy on
stage was gonna go ballistic,

and when he did I saw an
opportunity and I took it.

Haley, check this.

There's a lot of abnormal
activity going on here.

And what we are seeing
is a dramatic increase

in the AcH level
in the hippocampus.

And that's the part of the
brain that stores memory.

Stay with Pearl until I get back.

And make sure
nothing happens to her.

These are my people.

They take orders from me.

You don't wanna
go up against me.

I expect to be included in
whatever plan you come up with.

You can trust her, Liam.

Most of the time.

What the hell is going on?

In case you haven't noticed,
the people being transformed

are still becoming violent!

Mr. Fields!

Show some respect.

My partners have
over 2 billion dollars

invested in the company.
They are the wealthiest

and most powerful
people on the planet!

Let me clarify something.

I do not care who
your partners are.

If you want to see real power,
I'll be happy to display it for you.

That won't be necessary.

You do not seem to grasp
the basics of human nature.

If the public wants this
transformation procedure,

nothing will stand in
their way of getting it.

We've recovered this weapon

from one of the perpetrators
at the Second Chances event.

We traced the serial number back
to a theft linked to the Resistance.

This was definitely a
Resistance operation.

What about the man
who was transformed?

The one who fired the weapon.

There is no evidence to link
the shooter with the Resistance.

Then find some.

I'll handle the press on issue
of the shooter's identity.

Instruct your people to
maintain complete silence.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

You're a traitor to the Taelons.

I understand you believe
that, but just hear me out.

No, you know nothing
I need to hear.

That's not true.

Give him a chance, mom.

This is your brain
scan from last week.

This is your brain
scan from today.

Why is it different?

When you went through
the transformation process,

the readings from the
memory portion of your brain

were dramatically altered.

Are you saying the Taelons
did something to my brain?

No, you're lying. They
would never harm me, or Sam.

When we first met, you told
me you had no use for Taelons.

That's absurd. I never
would say that.

That's true, mom.
That's how you felt.

This is Sam's hospital chart.
It confirms what you claim.

that Sam's arrhythmia was treated
by a new surgical technique.

There's no mention of
any Taelon involvement.

Of course, not. I told you
it was done in secret.

The technique is well documented.

It was developed by a doctor
who performed the surgery.

A human doctor.

I interviewed the doctor and the
surgical team, it's all there. Please.

Read for yourself.

I've never seen a Taelon doctor.

No Taelons came into my room.

It never happened, mom.

Why?

Why is this happening to me?

I don't understand.

The Taelons placed those
memories in your brain.

No.

- They're not real.
- It's impossible.

I'm sorry.

I do not know. The closest
parallel I've seen to this is the...

the false recovered memory
syndrome in the 1990s.

This process is much
more insidious.

The memories the Taelons placed in her
brain are just as real as her true memories.

You gotta see this.

The attack was the Resistance
plot to discredit the Taelons.

Including the man
who was transformed?

Yes, he went through the
transformation process

and staged the suicide mission
so he could destroy the trust

built between humans and
Taelons at Second Chances.

Mr. Fields, I assume
your company will suspend

any further transformations until
all the facts have been confirmed.

Well, no, absolutely not. We're
not gonna give in to terrorists.

As a matter of fact, later
tonight we'll be performing

transformation procedures on
over a thousand more people

who have been actually
waiting their turn.

You didn't tell me the
shooter was Resistance.

He wasn't.
Sandoval is lying!

I mean, the transformation
was to screw up his brain,

made him too fanatical
and he flipped out.

Talk about spin control, now
they've got the perfect incident

to drum up hatred
of the Resistance.

And then create goodwill
for Second Chances.

No one's gonna oppose any
more transformations now.

Unless we can produce hard
evidence to prove that the Taelons

are using the process
to plant false memories.

And if the evidence exists,

it's probably in the
Second Chances facility.

I'm going in there tonight.

Are you in or out?

Laser sensors cover
our every approach.

Lili can only deactivate the
security systems for 90 seconds.

It's tight, but
we can make it.

Identify yourself.

Companion Agent
Lili Marquette.

What can we do for you?

We are searching
for Pearl Bell.

I need to interview
anyone personnel

who may have had contact
with her while she was here.

Neither of us met her.
Although we'd sure like to.

Don't count on it.

- Go ahead.
- Thanks.

She's in. Be ready.

Let's go.

Ready?

Go!

Come on, guys.

45 seconds.

We're in.

We're in the interior
hallway. Southeast quadrant.

Nice work, Lili.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

Disengage the lab grid.

I'm Lili Marquette.

And I'm supposed to be
interviewing some, uh...

Second Chances personnel
regarding Pearl Bell, but...

Don't move.

I've got an Agent Marquette
here who claims that she...

Lili, disengage the lab grid.

She's clean.

There's nobody here to interview.
I'll show you where to go.

Follow me.

Well, there's gotta
evidence here somewhere.

Check this out.

Here it is.

It's details about personal lives
of everyone that's been transformed.

They can create specific
personalized memories with this.

Every false memory documented.

And the next one
they're preparing.

Miracles waiting to get assigned.

Haley, come here.

They tortured him?

No. The memories they planted
in his brain were too intense.

They were trying to
reverse the damage.

Are you defending the Taelons?!

Look at him, Liam.

They forced him here
and then they killed him.

Read the chart. He was a
volunteer, just like all the others.

If you want to get our planet back
stop making excuses for humanity.

We are allowing the
Taelons to destroy us.

The only way for us to win
is stop blaming the Taelons

and start controlling
our own destiny.

We got a break-in.
I'm down at the...

Saunders?

Come in.

Saunders?

I need backup.

Hey, what's going on?

There's been a break-in
down at the lab.

The response team
is on the way.

We're not gonna make it out.
We've got to go to the backup plan.

Fan out across the building.
Check out every office,

storage room, elevator,
basement, bathroom, balcony,

attic, and broom closet. Go!

You heard her, fan out!

Come on. Let's go.

Get over to the lab,
they need assistance.

Who the hell are you?

Lock down the facility.

The intruders are posing
as members of my team.

Come on.

Hold it!

No!

Let's get out of here.

They stole one of our
vehicles. They're gone.

You didn't leave a
cover team at the door?

You let them escape!

They stole an a vehicle. Get
the shuttle patrol in the air.

We launched an air search
of the area. Nothing.

And we confirmed that
the area they targeted

was off-limits to the human staff.

They stole hundreds of
confidential Taelon files.

We will assume all security
responsibilities from Fields.

Recover the stolen information
before it is released to the public.

Certainly, Zo'or.

All of the Companions
agents are searching.

We have just been handed what are now
being referred to as the memories files.

There is a widespread speculation that
the FDA will now be under extreme pressure

to temporarily ban all of
these transformation procedures

until the evidence of these false
memories can be fully examined.

We didn't do enough.

The Taelons and Fields will figure
out a way to discredit the evidence.

The demand for
transformations is too high.

They're gonna have this back
on the market in no time.

Yeah, I know, and we're
gonna keep fighting it.

Every time they try
and bring it back.

You know, when I...

I found out about
your alien heritage,

I immediately distrusted you.

Yeah, you didn’t hide it too well.

Well, I wasn't trying.

But I was wrong about you.

The Resistance needs you.

Well, you've got me.

That's not what I mean.

We need a leader.

Someone who will
inspire us to action.

I believe that you're
that leader, Liam.

Well, that I'm gonna
have to think about.

And you now support these acts of
violence aimed at the Companions?

I would characterize the planting of
false memories into unsuspecting people

as a violent Taelon act
directed at humanity.

By that reply I assume
your answer is yes.

No.

I don't support violence
directed at Taelons or humanity,

but I will stand with
my fellow human beings

to fight back anyone
who attacks us.

You understand better than
most the power of the Taelons.

Armed resistance will only result
in a massive human death toll.

Without our freedom
we might as well be dead.

I still believe you represent
the future of our two species.

But there is a basic truth
that you must understand.

I am a Taelon.

And I will never
betray my own species.

I do understand.

Because above all else,

I am a human being.

And I will never
betray my species.

Pearl and Sam are all set.

Great. We'll find them
safe haven out west.

We have a hell of a
network out there, Liam.

Committed fighters
just waiting to be led.

I see subtlety isn't
your strong point.

There is no time for subtlety.

It's time to reclaim our home.

Where do you stand?

I think you are the best
choice to lead the Resistance.

It can't be that simple. They
must have offered it to you.

In the military, sometimes the lines
between career and country are crossed.

It's different here.

We have to do what's
best for the planet.

And I truly believe that
means you leading our fight.

Then I'll do whatever is required.
